A relatively easy course made much harder by a strong headwind, sunny early and late but quite cold in very exposed areas.


Bob had a serious blow out at 14 miles and we had to wait for Rob (Bike Adventure) to bring a new tyre.


I got separated from the group at Cheddar and cycled the rest of the way by myself.


We started on the Somerset Levels then had a climb up Cheddar Gorge then down very narrow lanes which were undulating towards Bristol.


We completely bypassed Bristol through a network of Cycle Paths - then over the Avon Bridge - over the Severn Bridge and up the Wye Valley to Tintern.


We are staying in the Parva Farmhouse which has the river Wye at the bottom of its garden.






Counties - Somerset - Avon - Monmouthshire.
